Pumpkin Grannies are the quintessential crochet project for this Autumn season. These cute and versatile granny squares can be used to make everything from blankets to coasters, and they are an absolute must for any Halloween enthusiast. Let's dive in and discover how you can create your own Pumpkin Granny Square.
Before we begin, make sure you have all the necessary supplies. You'll need:
Choosing the right yarn is essential for your Pumpkin Granny Squares. Opt for orange, green, and brown shades to create that classic pumpkin look. Make sure it's soft and easy to work with, as you'll be spending hours crocheting these delightful squares. I am using Saver from Iceyarns, which is accessible here.
A 6.0 mm crochet hook works best for this project. You can access it here. It offers just the right tension for your stitches, ensuring that your squares come out crisp and uniform.
Q: Can I use different colors for my pumpkins?
A: Absolutely! Get creative with your color choices to make your pumpkins unique.
Q: I'm a beginner. Is this pattern suitable for me?
A: Yes, this written pattern is beginner-friendly. Just follow the step-by-step instructions.
Q: Where can I find the pattern?
A: You can watch the right-handed video tutorial in this blog above. You can also click the link below the embedded video to access the left-handed video tutorial.
Q: How can I make my granny squares more durable?
A: To enhance durability, choose a sturdy yarn and crochet tightly.
Q: Can I resize the squares for different projects?
A: Yes, you can adjust the size of your squares by changing the hook size and yarn weight.
Q: Are there other fruit-themed square patterns?
A: Absolutely! You can find patterns for apples, pears, and more to add variety to your projects.
Q: Can I use different types of stitches for my Pumpkin Granny Square?
A: Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with different crochet stitches to add texture and variety to your squares.
Q: What's the best way to attach the pumpkin squares together?
A: You can either crochet them together or sew them using a yarn needle. Crocheting them together will give a more seamless look, while sewing allows for more flexibility.
Q: Can I mix and match different Granny Square patterns in one project?
A: Yes, you can combine various Granny Square patterns to create a unique and eclectic piece, such as a patchwork blanket or shawl.
Q: What's the best way to care for items made with Pumpkin Granny Squares?
A: To ensure the longevity of your crochet creations, it's best to hand wash them in cold water and lay them flat to dry. This will help maintain the shape and colors of your squares.

Everything I need in one place to be creative and I can photocopy extras of the pages I use most to customise my planning. I use it as my main diary, even for work and upcoming events. It inspires me to focus on my creative pursuits too. Love it!
Love this item going to put little gifts in it on the tree ,just tying in tails.
I am really impressed with the quality of this written pattern as well as the video tutorial. Both are clear and detailed. I am not done with my striped cardigan yet, but it's coming together nicely (though I'm not so sure about my choice to use up yarn I already have with individual stripes!)... so many tails to sew in!! My advice would be to buy self-striping yarn like she does in the video.
Easy to follow pattern! Super base for the rectangle or other larger projects.
Keep the tutorials coming and with written and visual instructions to follow along so beginners can learn. Thank you for your help.
I think there is a mistake in the written pattern. It says to do a half double crochet twice, when it is only supposed to be once
Thank you to the Secret Yarnery for this pattern! Can't go wrong with this one, it really is easy and fast to make - I'm on my 2nd one already and plan to do more! You really don't need to look any further if you're looking to make a scarf - you will not be disappointed. In fact, you'll have fun making it (I did!) Happy crocheting!
Thank you for writing a pattern that is amazingly easy to follow and help me produce a stunning piece!!
Wow! I can't believe I made this beautiful toran. Well, yes I can since I followed this easy pattern! Again, wow! How fun was this to make! Super-duper easy to make and you can be as creative as you like by choosing colours, placement of colours to form pattern(s), number of leaves, etc. so it truly can be personalized for any occasion! Love the Secret Yarnery patterns and tutorials - thank you so much for your time, efforts, and for sharing your talent with the rest of us in the world!
The best pattern & tutorial I have ever come across. Loved how you used the needle to clearly point out where the stitch was to go. Have made 3 hats already. Many more on my to do list. Thanks so much
The yarn world is vast & has several yarn naming & grading systems. This chart really helps to get the right weight of yarn, size of needle, gauge & yardage/meterage when using patterns or yarns from other countries. And it covers both knit & crochet. Thank you for putting together this very useful tool, Secret Yarnery.
I love this pattern. Very easy to follow and fun to make.
Glad I found this pattern. I love it.
It was very easy to do. I have already made 4
